German SMEs keen to cooperate with Iran: German figure

There are many small and medium enterprises that are not following the US and are interested in cooperation with Iran and investment in the country, Former German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel noted.

He made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

The German official said that Berlin and Paris are committed about implementation of their obligations enshrined in the nuclear deal, known also as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Elsewhere in his remarks, Gabriel referred to the Yemen war and called for Iran's effective role to resolve the issue.

US President Donald Trump announced early May that Washington would pull out of Iran nuclear deal and reinstate sanctions, which had been lifted under the accord.

The first round of the sanctions snapped back into place in August, with the second round, targeting the energy and oil sectors that took effect on November 5.

This is while other signatories to the deal (i.e. Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia) have thus far criticized Washington's unilateral move and repeatedly renewed their commitment to the deal.
